hi. my family is originally from philly and they are coming to spend christmas with us. my grandpa was a huge model railroad enthusiast and this year marks the 20th anniversary of his death. what i wanted to do since i have a model trainset was to create a philly-style theme this year. does anyone know a place where i could find septa ho scale trains? thanks. and btw, PHILLIES KICK ASS!!!!!!!!

HO SEPTA cars… so Budd / GE “Silverliners” to represent the 1960-80’s period… or Comet’s for the 80’s to current ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPTA#Regional_Rail )
Walthers has Silverliners in stock: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/543-98A
This company is coming OUT with Silverliners soon: http://ihphobby.tripod.com/
Here is a link to a AEM-7 locomotive in SEPTA markings: http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/507-2056271
The cars are undecorated… so you’ll have to paint them, and here is a link to possible decals: http://ihphobby.tripod.com/ihpdecals.html
GOOD LUCK… Model Railroading RULES.
